This entirely depends on the host. If it's an 18650 host and it can take two 16340s then it'll most likely have room for a couple 18350s unless it's very tight with the 16340s.

Total length of an 18650 = 65mm
Total length of two 16340s = 68mm
Total length of two 18350s = 70mm

So if the host was made to accommodate only an 18650 and there was no more room then it might fit but the tailcap wouldn't be able to thread all the way. There also might be a bit of mercy for room in the spring. Most 18650 hosts I've seen (and made) will take two 16340s but two 18350s is pushing it.

Edit: Looks like Bob beat me to it :beer: as he said, if it takes a couple 16340s, the 2mm of extra space for the 18350s shouldn't be cause for concern.

Yeah I decide not to add a spring to the contact board only the tail cap and it has plenty of room as I stretched the spring to make it work with the 16340's.

Hi,
Ok i'm chiming in guys, a 501B will take 2-18350's said. Each manufacturers tolerances are slightly different, So If the 2-18350's are tight when the tailcap is screwed on take the spring off the contact board and add a solder blob built up slowly till you get the right space inside the tube. And also there are different size springs in length some short some longer. The same goes for 16340's , but i rarely don't use them..

On a side note... I tried using 16340s in a 501b, but thought they were too sloppy. Length wise was fine, but too much side to side play for my liking. So I made a few sleeves out of aluminum conduit to fit those batteries nicely!

Hi Cris,
Try some PVC for sleeves easier to work with and it's not conductive

I had used pvc before on a different project, but I have access to a lathe so it's the same amount of work either way. I really wanted to try aluminum just to see if I could improve the heat transference of that small 501b host.
